West Ham United are anticipating movement in the transfer market as early as this week, according to information obtained by Claret & Hugh.
While attention today is focused on the Hammers’ first pre-season friendly against Ferencváros, Tim Steidten and his recruitment team are actively working behind the scenes to finalize signings.
Claret & Hugh reached out to a reliable club source to clarify recent transfer speculation, particularly concerning the club’s reported interest in wingers. The source indicated, “We’re exploring various options, but a center forward is our top priority.”
This stance aligns with the club’s initial transfer window priorities, which were centered on securing a center-back and center-forward. Claret & Hugh previously reported on Tim Steidten’s scouting efforts in Brazil for promising young talents ahead of last season’s Bayer Leverkusen match.
While West Ham remains discreet about specific player names, the possibility of a move for Jhon Duran from Aston Villa isn’t ruled out, provided Villa adjusts their asking price.
The Hammers’ strategic focus on strengthening their forward line underscores their commitment to bolstering key areas for the upcoming season.
